"Ajmal violated the PCB code of conduct by giving interviews to the media without prior permission of the manager and his comments against other team's players were unacceptable," Khan told AFP, without giving the amount of the fine.

As well as the PCB's punsishment, Ajmal can also be penalised by the ICC for his comments which are a violation under their code of conduct.

Australian skipper Michael Clarke has denied Watson or any of his players approached the umpires to complain about Ajmal's action.
